[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0022] As Figures 1-5 shown, a feeding system of a battery pole column processing machine tool of the present utility model is used to automatically feed the machine tool during the process of processing the battery pole column using the machine tool, and includes a vibration plate 01 arranged outside the machine tool, a temporary storage component installed inside the machine tool, and a gripping device 17 for transferring the battery pole column in the temporary storage component 16 to the chuck of the machine tool. A slideway 02 is inclined between the temporary storage component 16 and the vibration plate 01. The temporary storage component 16 is located inside the machine tool adjacent to the chuck of the machine tool. The operator places a plurality of battery pole column blanks into the vibration plate 01. Under the action of the vibration plate 01, the disordered battery pole column blanks are automatically arranged neatly in an orderly manner, and the battery pole column blanks are conveyed into the channel. Since the slideway 02 is inclined, the battery pole columns located in the slideway 02 move to the temporary storage component 16 under the action of gravity. Then, the battery pole columns are taken out from the temporary storage component 16 by the gripping device 17 and transferred to the chuck of the machine tool for processing.

[0023] As Figure 2 shown, the temporary storage component 16 includes a fixed seat 03 fixedly installed on the machine tool. The fixed seat 03 is arranged on one side of the chuck on the machine tool. An accommodating groove 04 communicating with the slideway 02 is arranged inside the fixed seat 03. The depth of the accommodating groove 04 is less than the length of the battery pole column (as Figure 3As shown. After the battery terminal moves from the slideway 02 into the receiving groove 04, a part of the battery terminal extends outside the fixing base 03, enabling the clamping device 17 to smoothly take out the battery terminal located in the receiving groove 04 from the receiving groove 04 and transfer it to the chuck of the machine tool for processing the battery terminal.

[0024] To prevent the battery terminal located in the receiving groove 04 from tilting and ensure that the battery terminal is in a horizontal state in the receiving groove 04 for convenient grasping by the transfer device. Two auxiliary components for stabilizing the battery terminal are symmetrically arranged on the fixing base 03. At the same time, three or more auxiliary components can also be evenly distributed on the fixing base, which will not be listed one by one here. The auxiliary component includes a through hole provided on the fixing base 03, and the through hole is connected to the receiving groove 04 in a penetrating manner. An auxiliary block 05 is provided in the through hole, enabling the auxiliary block 05 to slide on the fixing base 03 along the through hole. A driving assembly for driving the auxiliary block 05 to slide along the through hole in the fixing base 03 is provided outside the fixing base 03.

[0025] Generally, the battery terminal includes a column body a1, a column bottom a2, and a column head a3, (as Figure 5 shown), however, the diameter of the column head is larger than that of the column body. When the battery terminal is located in the receiving groove 04, the column head on the battery terminal is located in the limiting groove. By the side of the auxiliary block 05 abutting against the column head, it is ensured that the column body of the battery terminal is in a horizontal state in the receiving groove 04, facilitating the clamping device 17 to take out the battery terminal from the receiving groove 04. In use, under normal conditions, under the action of the driving assembly, the end of the auxiliary block 05 is located in the receiving groove 04 and forms a limiting groove with the bottom wall of the receiving groove 04. When a single battery terminal is located in the receiving groove 04, the column head of the battery terminal is located in the limiting groove to stabilize the battery terminal. When the clamping device 17 grabs the battery terminal in the receiving groove 04, the auxiliary block 05 retracts into the through hole of the fixing base 03 under the action of the driving assembly, and the clamping device 17 can smoothly take out the battery terminal from the receiving groove 04.

[0026] The driving assembly includes a guiding rod fixedly connected to the auxiliary block 05 and an auxiliary seat 06 fixedly installed on the machine tool. A through hole adapted to the guiding rod 07 is provided on the auxiliary seat 06, enabling the guiding rod 07 to slide on the auxiliary seat 06. The end of the guiding rod 07 passes through the through hole of the auxiliary seat 06 and is a free end. A baffle 08 is connected to the guiding rod 07 through a fastener, and a spring 09 is provided between the baffle 08 and the auxiliary seat 06. The spring 09 is sleeved on the guiding rod 07.

[0027] Under normal conditions, under the action of the spring 09, the end of the auxiliary block 05 extends into the receiving groove 04, and the baffle 08 abuts against the outer surface of the fixed seat 03. At the same time, the setting of the baffle 08 can limit the length of the end of the auxiliary block 05 extending into the receiving groove 04. By adjusting the position of the baffle 08 on the guide rod 07, the effect of controlling the length of the end of the auxiliary block 05 extending into the receiving groove 04 can be achieved. When the clamping device 17 picks up the battery pole in the receiving groove 04, since a pulling force will be generated when the clamping device 17 picks up the battery pole, when the head of the battery pole contacts the auxiliary block 05. The auxiliary block 05 will automatically retract into the through hole of the fixed seat 03. It should be noted that any existing driving source such as a cylinder can be used to act on the auxiliary block 05 to make it move up and down in the fixed seat 03.

[0028] When the clamping device 17 picks up the battery pole, to enable the battery pole to be smoothly taken out from the through hole, a guiding surface 10 is inclinedly arranged at the end of the auxiliary block 05. When the head of the battery pole abuts against the guiding surface 10, the auxiliary block 05 can quickly retract into the through hole of the fixed seat 03.

[0029] A chute 11 adapted to the battery pole is arranged in the slideway 02 (as Figure 4 shown). By arranging the adapted chute 11 in the slideway 02. It is prevented that the battery pole is displaced in position during the sliding process in the slideway 02.

[0030] The clamping device 17 includes a grasping seat 14 fixedly installed on the pallet 12 of the machine tool, and a pneumatic chuck 15 is fixedly installed on the grasping seat 14. Since a driving mechanism 13 is arranged in the machine tool, the pallet 12 is fixedly installed on the driving mechanism 13. The driving mechanism 13 belongs to the prior art in the field of machine tools. The driving mechanism 13 can adopt the rubber ring electric spindle turning machine tool disclosed in the Chinese patent with the publication number CN220279053U, and the "X-axis moving slide rail group" and "Y-axis moving slide rail assembly" recorded therein can drive the pallet 12 to move. The driving mechanism 13 drives the pallet 12 to move horizontally or vertically in the machine tool. At the same time, the tool rest of the machine tool is fixedly installed on the pallet 12. Therefore, when in use, the driving mechanism 13 drives the grasping seat 14 on the pallet 12 to move towards the temporary storage component 16. When the pneumatic chuck 15 on the grasping seat 14 clamps the battery pole, and then the driving mechanism 13 drives the pneumatic chuck 15 and the battery pole to move together to the chuck outlet of the machine tool. The chuck in the machine tool clamps the battery pole, and then the tool rest on the pallet 12 processes the battery pole.

[0031] It should be noted that for the sake of clear description, the fasteners described in this application are any one of screws, bolts, and screws.
